Stand Up!

Tim and I were proud to be two of the hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, of American patriots who marched on Washington DC on 9.12.09. The mainstream media said we were an “extremist movement”. Well, they got it half right. We are NOT extremists but this IS a movement. This is the movement of millions of Americans standing up and saying, “WE will defend the Constitution of the United States!”

A Few "Thousand" Marchers

While we got up every morning and went to work, took our children to school, volunteered in our churches and communities or LOOKED FOR A JOB, our government representatives squandered our prosperity and usurped our freedoms. We sent them trillions of dollars in taxes, but that was NOT ENOUGH. So they plundered the social security surpluses leaving the coffers empty and the Americans who are counting on that Social Security check in retirement with nothing but empty promises. Between Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, our government has run up to 100 trillion dollars of unfunded liabilities TO the American people – the people they are suppose to represent! BUT THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH! So they ran up a debt in our name that is largest in the history of the world. And while we hear so much about the amount we owe to China, let us not forget that 75% of Treasury Bills are held by Americans. Treasury bills fill the coffers of the pension and retirement plans of our policemen, teachers, firefighters, coal miners, clergy and everyday Americans – the people they are suppose to represent. When our government does not defend our dollar, it is the American people they are refusing to defend. It is our government that has led us to the precipice of financial collapse. In my father’s lifetime we have gone from being the world’s greatest creditor nation to the world’s greatest debtor nation. And still it is NOT ENOUGH. They expect us to look at all they have done and still support their Health Care Bill, their Cap and Trade Bill and their Employee Free Choice Bill. They have demonstrated they cannot be trusted. These bills will push us over that cliff. But what our elected officials do not understand, is that between America and that cliff stands a wall forged from the iron will of millions of peaceful Americans who are standing up to protect America and saying, “ENOUGH! YOU SHALL NOT PASS!”

What the President, the Congress and the Media witnessed in Washington DC on 9.12.09 was a conference of their employers. We are changing their job responsibilities. They are to STOP writing laws that put shackles on the American people and instead they should begin to review and revoke all laws that impinge on the rights and freedoms of the American people guaranteed to them by the Constitution. And they should stop spending our money! Those who choose to push any legislation against the will of the American people will in 2010 hear the words, “You’re fired!”

Please join the “movement” and stand up. Call your representatives and tell them “NO! We do not support these bills and we expect you to vote against them.” Get everyone you know to call. Silence Is Consent.

Here are the phone numbers you need to contact your representatives in Washington:

House of Representatives: 202-225-3121

White House: 202-456-1111

God Bless America!

Can You Hear Us Now?Standing UpDon't Tread On MeAll the Way to the Washington Monument

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give toanybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”

“When you have made evil the means of survival, do not expect men to remain good. do not expect them to stay moral and lose their lives for the purpose of becoming fodder of the immoral. Do not expect them to produce, when production is punished and looting rewarded. Do not ask, ‘Who is destroying the world?’ You are.”

Now the looters’ credo has brought you to regard your proudest achievements as a hallmark of shame, your prosperity as guilt, your greatest men, the industrialists as blackguards, and your magnificent factories as the product and property of muscular labor, the labor of whip-driven slaves, like the pyramids of Egypt. The rotter who simpers that he sees no difference between the power of the dollar and the power of the whip, ought to learn the difference on his own hide – as, I think, he will.”
